Chapter 51 So Scumbag
Shang Zimo looked listless. Before he could figure out the situation, he was frightened by Gao Zhandao's roar and almost fell to the ground.
"Who are you?" When Shang Zimo came to his senses, he looked at the young man staring at him with anger in front of him, with a confused look on his face.
"If you don't know me, you should know Boss Qi Feilong Qi of Feilong, right? If you weren't the dog thief who planned it for Tianshun Gang, Boss Qi wouldn't have died tragically! I want you to pay your life to Boss Qi!"
Gao Zhandao shouted angrily, rushed up and pinched Shang Zimo's neck with both hands, with a ferocious face, as if he was about to strangle Shang Zimo to death on the spot.
Shang Zimo was tied with his hands and was unable to resist at all. He rolled his eyes and turned blue with his face. He could only keep retreating and shouting, "General, save me..."
Zhang Long wanted to step forward, but was blocked by Tang Han. He watched Shang Zimo's voice getting smaller and smaller, then he shouted coldly: "Gao Zhandao, stop!"
Gao Zhandao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Han with a bad expression, then let go of his hands, panted and knelt in front of Tang Han and said, "Please forgive me, the villain saw his enemy impulse, not deliberately making rashes in front of the master."
When Gao Zhandao just said the name of the Feilong Gang Qi Longfei, Tang Han saw Shang Zimo's face change, and it was obvious that what Gao Zhandao said was true.
Tang Han turned to Zhang Long and said, "Take this brother Gao down first and get some food."
Then he said to Gao Zhandao: "Brother Gao, I basically know your origin. You go down and eat something first. I'll find you later."
Gao Zhandao was interested in asking Tang Han how he planned to deal with their brothers outside the city. He opened his mouth but still said nothing. He knelt down and thanked Tang Han and walked out with Zhang Long.
Shang Zimo escaped from death, knelt on the ground and coughed for a long time and finally recovered.
Tang Han looked at him and said coldly: "Shang Zimo, what the person said just now is true? You tell me all the causes and consequences. If you hide and false reports, even if I don't kill you, I will hand you over to the Feilong Gang's people, you should be very clear in your heart what will happen."
The image of Tang Han's killing god was already impressed by Shang Zimo, but obviously the people from the Feilong Gang made him even more scared, so he changed his expression and hurriedly fell to his knees and said, "As long as the general protects me from death, I will tell the general everything."
Next, Tang Han listened leisurely to Shang Zimo tell the whole story clearly.
It turned out that although Wurihai rebelled and defected to the Xia Empire at the time of war, he was generally not trusted or valued for surrendered generals. What's more, people with inferior character like Wurihai are even more so.
Therefore, Wurihai has been in a bad mood in the first few years in the Summer Empire. Not only does he have no real power, but he is often despised by others.
It was not until three years ago that Wu Rihai gave his sister to a senior official in the Xia Empire court as a concubine, which reversed the situation where his uncle did not love his grandmother and gradually improved a little.
Two years ago, the official transferred Wurihai to Beidi County as a captain, which really allowed Wurihai to take real power.
Although Wu Rihai became a real-powered lieutenant, he knew that relying solely on his sister's pillow would never last long. The powerful and powerful are all people who are bored with the new and old, and they may soon fall in love with others. Once their sister falls out of favor, they will probably end up being the last one.
So Wurihai decided to find another way to make himself valuable in front of that backer.
But he is a warrior and knows what to do, but he doesn't know how to do it.
At this time, Shang Zimo happened to appear.
Shang Zimo was originally a down-and-out scholar in Beidi County. He was originally a wealthy family, but because he was lazy and easy to gamble, his family property was completely defeated.
By chance, Wu Rihai saw Shang Zimo's sister on the street, and was shocked. Shang Zimo gave his sister to Wu Rihai as a concubine, and the two parties became the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Although Shang Zimo was a man who was good at gambling, he had bad ideas. He found Wu Rihai's thoughts and offered him advice.
Shang Zimo believed that if Wurihai wanted the backer in the court to pay attention to it, he must do two things: to earn face for the noble person, or to get money for the noble person.
The best way to earn face is to give credit to the noble man.
Although it has been ten years since the Eastern Lu Empire was destroyed, there have been constant uprisings under the banner of the Eastern Lu Empire in various places, one after another, making the Summer Empire court in a mess.
The Emperor of the Summer Empire was furious and demanded that localities strictly suppress the repression. Therefore, there was nothing more than the suppression of the rebel party at this time.
It was precisely when Shang Zimo saw this that the idea of Wurihai was to send troops to search for the remnants of the Donglu Empire. Anyone who had any connection with the Donglu court in the past, or who had ancestors who had served as officials in the Donglu Empire were arrested as a rebel party.
Wurihai heard this and the two hit it off. Therefore, in the past two years after Wurihai took office, the "Donglu Rebel Party" was taken to the capital of the Xia Empire for execution.
No one can tell how many innocent people were killed unjustly.
Therefore, the noble man was repeatedly commended by the Emperor of the Summer Empire in the court, and his official position was also rising.
As the saying goes, the great hero Wurihai is naturally more and more important. The great backer promised to take Wurihai further.
Wu Rihai was ecstatic and curled up with the backer even more attentively.
But the rebels were sent too much, and the court was a little suspicious. Why did you Beidi County rebel the most? This is obviously a bit unreasonable.
As a result, the business of arresting the rebel party turned into a business of slave trade. Many innocent people who were arrested were eventually sold to other counties as slaves.
But this voice is becoming increasingly difficult to do, because slavery has now begun to abolish in all countries around the world, and the Summer Empire has also begun to issue a ban on human trafficking.
Seeing that the slave business was not easy to do, Shang Zimo proposed to Wurihai again and attacked the idea of making money to various gangs in Beidi County.
Many businesses in the world, such as water transportation, brothels, casinos, and even private salt sales, are even controlled by gangs of all walks of life.
Gangs are not necessarily gangsters, many of them are legal businesses, but just to build associations and protect themselves.
Many times, the imperial government even had to use the power of these gangs to do things, which led to the increasing influence of the gang and the increasing wealth of the gang.
Generally speaking, gangs obtain support from the government by paying a certain amount of protection fees to the government, and the government also needs to do some things that are not suitable for the government to come forward through gangs.
Therefore, most officials are not very willing to provoke and suppress these gangs, and the two sides maintain a delicate cooperative relationship.
But Wu Rihai didn't follow the common sense. In order to make money quickly, he accepted Shang Zimo's method and began to use kids against these gangs.
Wurihai's plan is very simple. Anyway, the noble man has spoken, as long as he performs well, he will be promoted next year. So he doesn't care what he has to tossed Beidi County into.
It's just that it's too ugly to directly use the power of the government to seize the slaughter, so Wurihai established a Tianshun Gang as a tool to annex other gangs, and he supported and commanded it later.
The Feilong Gang is one of the victims. It’s just that because the Feilong Gang is powerful, they are put in the end to clean up.
The traitor who killed the boss of Feilong Gang was also bought by the Tianshun Gang.
Previously, the two boxes of silver ingots seized from the ship were private gifts given to Shang Zimo by Tianshun Gang, but Tang Han was cheaper.
After hearing this, Tang Han was shocked for a while and didn't know what to say.
These things that colluded with each other, bullied the people, called the deer a horse, and framed the loyal and good deeds before were only watched on novels and TV. Unexpectedly, they appeared before him at this time, making him feel that he was still too pure and honest.
This Shang Zimo looked so vicious that Tang Han's eyes became cold and angry without realizing it, and he looked like he was quick to kill him.
"God of your life, General, please spare your life! The villain said everything, General, you can't go back on your word! The villain is useful. If the general does not kill the villain, the villain will definitely be loyal to the general..."
After saying this, Shang Zimo suddenly realized that Tang Han's eyes were really scary, and he screamed in fear.
Tang Han finally came to his senses and tried to control himself and suppress the urge to slash the scum in front of him with a knife, and said coldly: "What's the use of you? If you dare to tease me, don't blame me for the long sword on my waist."
